Tommy was one of the founding committee members of St. Hilary of Poitiers Catholic Church. He was Vice President of Operations of Valentine Paper Company for 25 years. Because family was so important to Tommy, he spent many years of his retirement researching Genealogy of the Robichaux, St. Romain, Guidry and Chauvin families. He had a passion for music, and spent many years with his sweetheart in their garden of roses. But of all his accomplishments, his greatest was his faith in God and the love of his family. We are grateful for the compassionate and loving care Tommy received at Lafourche Home for the Aged.
